I have two weeks and would like some suggestions on the best places to go along the way. I've already been to Pisa, Rome, Florence and Venice, but wouldn't mind seeing some of these places again

Venice is small city and remember its a canal city with no roads for cars.....well the main part that most people are talking about has no cars. You can walk around the city in a day, as I said its small and you can take the ferry boats along the canals to get an overall view and sights (WAAAAYYY cheaper than the gondolas) I was there 2 nights and felt I had done my dash. If you are there longer and get bored I would look at maybe going to Verona which was lovely actually. Its only an hour or so by train and it has a lovely setting. Also cheaper than Venice which is pricey. In venice I hear the Murano glass factory tour is worth seeing. There is a nice market next to Rialto Bridge as well which has lots of cheaper things to buy for souveniers.

The first place I'd put on your list would be the magnificent and beautiful Renaissance city of Siena in Tuscany, a stunning place, with a Duomo even more impressive than the one in Florence
I'd suggest Florence for a day or two just so you can gaze in awestruck wonder once more at Michelangelo's David...you can book online now to get straight in even when they're busy.
In Florence, stay at the Ostello D'allo Goro Hostel - one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in anywhere in the world, because of the owners!
then Assizi,Verona,and Cinque Terre for a few days before you head to Venezia...
Happy Trails

Venice (Venezia) actually needs no introduction, see ways to get there with hotelbye . That town has been a fabled destination for centuries. Only the name Venice will do to conjure up a number of photographs, actually for those who have not yet set base in Italy. From gondoliers in striped tops to the Rialto and the Bridge of Sighs, criminal balls, fantastic barges, courtesans in gondolas and crumbling palaces facing roads made of water Venice is an incredible city. Once the sole link throughout the Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge marks the spot of the island's first settlement, called Rivus Altus and is currently one of the a lot of place that Venice has to offer.

Verona, Ravenna and the Cinque Terre are all good stops for your second trip to Italy. Also, Naples and the Amalfi Coast area are great (the island of Ischia is one of the most beautiful places in Italy). It does depend on what time of year you're going though.

hi! well, you can visit Sicily (Palermo, Catania, Siracusa), then go north and visit Naples and the surroundings. After that you can go to Rome again, then reach Tuscany and see Siena, Florence if you like to see it again. from there you can go easily to Perugia, Assisi, Urbino. Otherwise you can go to Genoa and Cinque Terre. On your way to Venice you can stop at Bologna, Padova, Verona.
good luck!

Try Capri, it's a nice boat trip and a beautiful island. Go to Pompeii it is very impressive. Napoli was a bit of a disappointment for me. Sorrento (sp?) is beautiful, do the coast route.

no offense, but going throgh italy from sicily to venice in 2 weeks is pure suicide!
In my opinion you shoud visit only one big "regione" (suggest sicily or campania).
believe me: if you want to visit it properly (and not get stressed) it will take 2 weeks.
here some places you may go in
-CAMPANIA: Naples (one week)..
-SICILY: Palermo, Monreale and the rests of greek cities(selinunte, imera..)
enjoy!

Venice is a must, Milan and try head north to the dolomites, you may even have time to head into Austria.
